At Lorica Holistic, my aim is to create a protective and supportive space – a true 'lorica' – where you can rediscover the inherent wisdom and resilience of your body, which was designed for health. I'm Kayla, and as a clinical herbalist, holistic nutrition counselor, and health coach, my passion for guiding you on a journey back to vibrant well-being is deeply personal.

​

My fascination with the healing power of nature began in childhood, long before my formal training. An early draw to plant biology, phytochemicals, and the intricate dance of life in the garden blossomed into a lifelong dedication. This connection to the earth deepened through my family's experience at Lorica Farm, where we've embraced a lifestyle rooted in nourishment by raising our own food and cultivating a vibrant garden. This intimate relationship with the land has profoundly shaped my philosophy towards health.

​

This philosophy was further solidified through a significant personal challenge. Our family experienced firsthand the profound impact of a medical misdiagnosis affecting one of our children. Years were spent navigating inappropriate prescriptions and delayed proper care. It wasn't until we embraced holistic nutrition that we began to see real traction in their healing journey. This experience illuminated the incredible power of holistic approaches and fueled my commitment to helping others find their own path to wellness.

​

My approach at Lorica Holistic is rooted in this understanding of interconnectedness. I offer whole-body, systems-based care that addresses you from the cellular level outward, focusing on the vital interplay of neurological health, digestion, the HPA axis, and other key systems that influence your energy, mood, and overall vitality. Through holistic nutrition counseling, clinical herbalism, health coaching, and functional lab analysis, my goal is to help you uncover the underlying causes of imbalance and create sustainable, lasting health.

​

I firmly believe that the body was designed by God with an incredible capacity for healing. When we honor this design through intentional nourishment, rest, and mindful care, we empower it to heal, thrive, and flourish. This core belief underpins my work with clients across the country, whom I support virtually from my base in Colorado.

​

My commitment to providing you with the most informed and effective care is reflected in my ongoing pursuit of board certifications in holistic nutrition (NANP), clinical herbalism (AHG), and health coaching (NBHWC). Whether you are navigating a specific health challenge or simply seeking to feel more authentically yourself, I would be honored to collaborate with you, offering deeply personalized and science-informed care on your unique path to well-being.
